Busoni's monumental "Skyscraper Concerto" from 1904, a neat little piece of 73 minutes, complete with a Mahler-size orchestra and a male chorus. If ever there was art nouveau in music, this is it! Janos Solyom premiered the piece in Scandinavia and has performed it as often as circumstances and finances would allow.

Dohnányi's Variations on a nursery rhyme op. 25 is a gem, learned divertissement at its best.

Wilhelm Stenhammar's 2nd Concerto is a full-blooded Romantic concerto on a grand scale in a somewhat Brahmsian vein, written by Sweden's national composer par préférence. Arguably the most rewarding piece of Swedish music, all categories.
